Title: Bi-directional automotive cooling fan
Inventor: MACKELVIE WINSTON R
IPC: F01P5/04
Filed: 2001-05-04
Abstract: The present invention pertains to vehicles and in particular, control of the axial fan adjacent the radiator that moves air therethrough to provide bi-directional fan operation. The forward blowing speed of the fan is made variable. When the engine is below its operating temperature and the vehicle is moving, the fan is switched to blow forwards and at a speed proportional to vehicle speed so as to block cold air from entering and blasting onto a cold engine. This speeds engine warm-up to reduce emissions, improve fuel economy, speed windshield defogging for improved visibility. When the engine is above its operating temperature and the vehicle is idling or moving slowly, as in traffic. The fan then again blows forwards cooling the radiator, the engine, and the plastic and electronic components of the engine bay and rejects hot, noxious fumes from traffic vehicles in front. Looping of hot radiator air is eliminated. A well understood motor control circuit design uses signals from engine temperature and road-speed sensors to determine and witch the fan motor's direction of rotation and its speed of rotation.      When not blowing forward, the fan reverts to normal operation.

Title: Method for forming a snowroad
Inventor: MERCIER DENIS
IPC: E01H4/00
Filed: 2001-10-02
Abstract: For the exploitation of the resources such as lumbering, there are many locations to which temporary access is desired hut to which permanent roads would not be apropriate. In the past, temporary roads have been made of gravel or the like.    However, such gravel roads are time consuming to build and maintain and are particularly costly especially in light of their temporary nature. Furthermore they may eventually damage the area upon which they are built. Still further the surface being formed is sometimes incapable of supposing the transport vehicles and the use of conventional road building materials and technique is impractical. The proposed method allows for the production of so-called snowroads through a set of relatively simple steps which can be relatively easily performed by conventional earth moving equipment without requiring special skills and through energy efficient processes. Also the proposed method provides road building capacities at a relatively low cost and with considerable time savings.

Inventor: THOMAS ROBERT S
IPC: C12Q1/6825
Filed: 2000-02-04
Abstract: An electrode for detecting interactions between members of a binding pair, which electrode has been modified by formation of a non-conductive self-assembled monolayer, and a method of detecting biomolecules, such as nucleic acids or other targets, including receptors, ligands, antigens or antibodies, utilizing such an electrode. When contacted with a target nucleic acid, an oligonucleotide probe coupled to the self-assembled monolayer reacts with the target nucleic acid to form a hybridized nucleic acid on the modified electrode surface. The hybridized nucleic acid is reacted with a transition metal complex capable of oxidizing a preselected base in the hybridized nucleic acid in an oxidation-reduction reaction, the oxidation-reduction reaction is detected, and the presence or absence of the nucleic acid is determined from the detected oxidation-reduction reaction.
Patent CA-2368161-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SUN DE-GUI
IPC: G02F1/225
Filed: 2002-01-16
Abstract: A waveguide variable optical attenuator using a pair of waveguide 3dB couplers configuration and having a polarization dependence compensator is proposed in this invention. This pair of 3dB couplers forms a Mach-Zehnder interferometer where a pair of cross-state input port and output port is used. Because the access loss of a 3dB coupler is much less than that of a Y junction, the system loss of the variable optical attenuator based on this invention is much less than that of the other typical structure of the variable optical attenuators based on a pair of Y junctions. Generally, the polarization dependent loss is a vital issue for a variable optical attenuator with either the 3dB  couplers structure or the Y junctions structure during it is being attenuated. In this invention, a polarization dependence compensator is made on this variable optical attenuator to correct any polarization dependent loss to the acceptable level. Therefore, the waveguide variable optical attenuator based on this invention can have low system loss and low polarization dependent loss.
